Subject: [PATCH] fix: extract text content from Pi's tool result content
 arrays

Pi returns tool results in format: {"content": [{"type": "text", "text": "..."}]}
Previously we were JSON.stringify-ing the whole object, showing as:
  {"content":[{"type":"text","text":"..."}]}
Now we extract the actual text content for cleaner display.
